The Administration must have a comprehensive written policy on

to the Soviet Bloc. The most recent effort along these lines
was PRM-31, completed in 1978. This National Security Study
Directive establishes the Terms of Reference for an interagen-
cy study to develop a current and comprehensive national
technology transfer policy. (U)
Objective (U)
The objective of this study is to conduct a national-level
policy review of the US Government's efforts to stop the
transfer of strategic technology to Communist countries. (C)
The study will lead to a National Security Decision Directive
(NSDD) with options as appropriate, establishing a comprehen-
sive US technology transfer policy. It will also make rec-
ommendations for implementation of the objectives of the NSDD
throughout the Government, to include legislative, regulatory,
security and administrative changes. (C)
Scope (U)
The study will embody a comprehensive review of the policies,
procedures, objectives, organization, capabilities and pri-
orities of the US Government's efforts to stem the loss of
Western technology to potential adversaries. (C)
The study will review related directives and studies, and
incorporate their analysis and recommendations as appropriate.
These shall include:
PRM-31, Export Control of US Technology
PD/NSD-24, Telecommunications Protection Policy
